Jose’s Tax Service | Trusted. Transparent. Tax-Smart.
Being your own boss comes with freedom — and a whole lot of responsibility. When you’re self-employed, tax planning is year-round, not just in April.
At Jose’s Tax Service, we help freelancers, gig workers, and small business owners avoid surprises, reduce tax bills, and stay compliant with simple strategies.
Who Counts as Self-Employed?
You’re considered self-employed if you:
– Run a business as a sole proprietor or single-member LLC
– Work freelance or contract jobs (like 1099-MISC or 1099-NEC)
– Drive for Uber, deliver for DoorDash, or run an Etsy shop
– Do side gigs with no employer tax withholding
Know Your Tax Responsibilities
As a self-employed individual, you’re responsible for:
– Self-employment tax (15.3% for Social Security & Medicare)
– Quarterly estimated taxes (due 4x/year)
– Income tax on your business profit
– Keeping detailed records of income and expenses
Deductions You Can Claim
Maximize what you keep by deducting legitimate business expenses:
– 💻 Computers, software, and subscriptions
– 🚘 Business mileage and travel
– 📞 Phone and internet used for business
– 🏢 Home office (if it’s a dedicated workspace)
– 🧾 Advertising, website hosting, business cards
– 📚 Education, coaching, or courses related to your trade
Jose’s Tax Service ensures your deductions are optimized and audit-proof.
